Tinnitus – what is the cause of my tinnitus

By John On October 27, 2006 Under Tinnitus Questions

I am not sure of the root cause of my tinnitus; I believe it could be several factors. I recently graduated from college. During this period I was under a lot of pressure, and facing uncertainty about my future. It was a couple of weeks after graduation that my tinnitus started.

On visiting the doctor, she told me to inhale olbas (eucalyptus) oil in hot water to drain some of the mucus in my middle ear. This improved my hearing, but did not improve my [tag]tinnitus[/tag].

About two years ago I also suffered a 2 week bout of tinnitus, at the time I believed it was due to visiting a loud nightclub, as the onset began the following morning. The tinnitus fortunately disappeared suddenly after two weeks- and ever since then I have worn ear plugs when going into loud environments.

I cannot identify a cause of sonic-trauma that could have triggered this second bout of tinnitus, but I cannot be 100% sure.

To describe the noise I experience: A faint, but full rining sound– much like one experiences when moving suddenly from a noisy environment into a quiet one.
Although the sound engulfs others in a quiet environment medium to loud bustle (such as being outdoors) masks is quite effectively. As a result I am only really aware of my [tag]tinnitus[/tag] in relatively quiet situations— however, this is still a problem for me!

So, in conclusion, I would say that my tinnitus could be caused by sound-trauma, and triggered by stress/sinus problems or even be related to high blood pressure (I happen to have quite high blood pressure and a high resting heart rate despite exercising regularily and keeping a healthy diet) Prior to the onset of this second bout of tinnitus, I ceased exercising due to pressures from college. Could this have been a factor?

I recently visited a homeopath to look for a tinnitus cure, she perscribed me a remedy which was labeled “Nast–m” which has been innefective.

I also have been getting only about 4-7 hours of sleep per night for the past 2 months or so, this is not due to tinnitus, but due to staying up late using the computer. And generally not feeling sleepy, perhaps relating to stress.

My tinnitus sometimes seems to increase in volume when I yawn, or open my mouth very wide.

Once, after I ran up a flight of stairs, I noticed that my ringing was increasing and decreasing in volume in time with my rapid heart beat- could this make it blood pressure related?

Any insight you can shed on this would be most helpful.
